I'm currently trying to get into game development and Rust so I'm trying out Amethyst: https://book.amethyst.rs/master/. I wanted to follow along with a roguelike game tutorial for Rust, but there was a problem. I would love to make some games that you can play co-op with some friends as I feel like there aren't enough games like it out there.

I want to learn how to build a phone, maybe something like the pine64 and librem phones. I'm a web dev so it's..challenging. How do I learn to:

* understand the hardware components required in a phone?

* understand the software components required? postmarketos and plasma mobile maybe?

* How do I even start to build a prototype? What components would I use? Maybe start with using a raspberry pi to make a DIY phone?

I know this is an open ended question, so any pointers would be appreciated.

Systems Thinking, mainly through reading Russell Ackoff's books. The Art of Problem Solving is good, Turning Learning Right Side Up is eye-opening (and definitely one of my favorite books lately) and currently reading Redesigning Society. Highly recommended.

Nice! I just did a simple roguelike in Rust a few months ago. I somewhat regret not looking at what it would take to make is work with wasm from the beginning, though.

Flutter -- and I'm in love -- it's like being a Flash developer/designer from 2006 all over again :)

So, soon to be obsolete, abandoned by s/Adobe/Google/g? :-p

Just kidding, I'm building the mobile client for https://histre.com/ in Flutter and I love it. Google, please don't kill it yet.
